Show 24 have prospected through Glen Canyon in two different years , and on one trip hauled our lumber to North Wash , about 4 miles below the mouth of the Dirty Devil , and there built our boats . ( R . 1062 , Vol . 6 . ) In the stretch of the ( Col- Col ) orado between Cataract Canyon and Lees Ferry there is some difficulty in different places ; it is about the same as the upper Colorado , except that you have more water . Occasionally , but not frequently , there are twisting currents in the nature of whirlpools . ( R . 1068 , Vol . 6 . ) My father , Nathaniel Galloway , used to do a lot of trapping on the San Juan , Colorado and Green Rivers , which he went up and down , following his vocation ; I suppose he went up in places . I know he ( went wefil ) all the way down on those rivers . ( R . 1074 , Vol . 6 . ) ( I 1 ) do not remember ( father's fathers ) ever having any motor boat ; the old trappers seemed to depend on the old style of navigation . ( R . 1076 , Vol . 6 . ) ( I 1 ) ( don't dont ) ( par- par ) ticularly mind going up the Colorado River , although it is hard work , as it is rowing upstream on any river . ( R . 1081 , Vol . 6 . ) ( I 1 ) had no more difficulty in ( going- going going ) from the mouth of the Dirty Devil down to Lees Ferry than I had in going from the mouth of the San Rafael to the mouth of the Green River . ( R . 1107 , Vol . 6 . ) ( I 1 ) ( know know- know ) there is a big Indian reservation on the Snake River the Blackfoot ( Reser Reser- Reser ) vation , and I ( don't dont ) remember ever seeing an Indian with a boat on the Snake River . ( R . 1116 , Vol . 6 . ) Parley Galloway testified : I have made four or five trips from Green River , Utah , to the mouth of the Green River and I have always found the location of the sand bars the same in that section of the river . I had trouble with sand bars nearly all along that section . ( R . 1126 , Vol . 6 . ) On the first part of the Eddy trip we had considerable trouble ; none of the party had ever had any experience in navigation . ( R . 1127 , Vol . 6 . ) In going through Glen Canyon with the Eddy party we did not have a great deal of trouble , although we found sand bars and nearly every day some of the boats ( "Aould Aould ) get stuck on a sand bar ; and when we took Howland through Glen Canyon we had some difficulty with sand bars . ( R . 1130 , Vol . 6 . ) In my opinion you could not take a boat from Moab up to Westwater but you could go from Moab up 10 or 15 miles . ( R . 1133 , Vol . 6 . ) There ars some riffles there that I do not believe a man could row over but he could row over those and go on up . ( R . 1134 , Vol . 6 . ) ( I 1 ) was probably 15 years old when I took a trip through Cataract Canyon with my father . I |
